Rhesus blood group distribution is skewed toward a higher RHD–ve occurrence in patients with SCLC compared to other forms of NSCLC lung cancer but does not appear to have any impact on overall survival.

Conclusions: In the study population, ABO blood types were associated with the lung cancer. Having non-O blood type and Rh-negative feature increased the risk of lung cancer. However, further prospective studies are necessary to define the mechanisms by which ABO blood type may influence the lung cancer risk.
